This extraordinary
McIntire sofa is being offered for sale for the first time since it was
originally purchased as furnishing for a family homestead in Boxford,
Massachusetts when a member of the
family, Jacob Peabody,
moved back from Salem
in the early years of the 19th Century.
This
is the second time Landry's has sold a McIntire sofa. Previously a
Sheraton-style example was sold in 1968 at the DeWitt Scoville
Clark sale in Salem. Keen interest in the sofa is anticipated in light of the
fact that a major retrospective of Samuel McIntire's work will be offered at
the Peabody Essex
Museum in Salem
from October 13, 2007
through February 24, 2008.
There will also be an inlaid mahogany glazed flip lid secretary on long legs
from the early Federal Period as well as a rare Boston
late Federal breakfront library cabinet.
